Walter Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal, who has been testing Google's Chrome browser for a week
next to the latest version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, concludes "With the emergence of
Chrome, consumers have a new and innovative browser choice, and with IE8, the new browser war is
sure to be a worthy contest." Many cloud computing enthusiasts are overjoyed with Chrome and call
it the first cloud browser or even the basis for a cloud operating system.

wKiosk Browser 5.1.1 wKiosk is the ideal way for Mac OS X
to present web-based content (HTML, Flash, PDF, videos, etc.) and applications in a safe and stable
way in public access terminals with or without access to the Internet. You can use wKiosk to
individually restrict access to Web sites, the operating system, system settings, and applications.
Your computer will be protected against any manipulation from the time you boot up until you shut
it down.
Since wKiosk is built with the Apple Safari Engine, you will benefit from all the features that
this modern browser has to offer (Flash, QuickTime, Real Audio, multimedia formats, etc). We
developed wKiosk with the intention to create a browser that would provide the same functionality
and ease of use as Safari, while adding maximum security and protection from user interference.
wKiosk is completely customizable, you can make it fit the individual requirements of your public
access terminals.
The program was created entirely within Apple Cocoa Frameworks, ensuring maximum performance and
stability. The program also features an easy-to-use aqua interface and streamlined window for
easy navigation.
wKiosk will automatically return to the initial screen after each session.It will also close all
windows, delete temporary internet files and cookies. The kiosk will then be reset to its initial
state. In addition, you can limit web access to certain URLs like your company website. No
programming skills are necessary to setup wKiosk. Configuring it is very simple and can be
accomplished within a couple of minutes. More information

LG has more or less finished their sequel to the Prada,
unimaginatively known as the Prada II. This
model will come with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard in addition to the following specifications
(something we lacked in our earlier
post) :-
- Quad-band GSM/EDGE, dual-band HSDPA (850MHz/2100MHz)
- 950mAh battery
- 240×400 3.0? screen
- 5 megapixel autofocus camera with flash and VGA recording
- Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- Infineon MP-EH + M180 chipset
- Motion sensor
- FM radio
Hopefully the operating system is something worth using, as the iPhone has already proven -
hardware specifications aren't as important as the user experience and ease-of-use, just take a
look at the DS Lite.

Sun Microsystems will introduce a storage appliance based on its FISHworks software package by
the end of this year and later extend the technology to other types of products through
partnerships.
FISHworks is a set of software components for building specialized appliances on
industry-standard x86 hardware. Though it runs best on Sun equipment and the company's
OpenSolaris open-source operating system, the software theoretically could work on other
platforms, according to Sun.
[ Get the latest on storage developments with InfoWorld's Storage Adviser blog and Storage Report newsletter.
]
The idea behind FISHworks is to offer the all-in-one simplicity of an appliance, fully tested and
configured, with open-source software and commodity hardware. FISHworks stands for Fully
Integrated Software and Hardware, but will get a new name when it is commercially released, said
Mike Shapiro, a distinguished engineer in Sun's FISHworks group.
The platform was announced in February 2007 and had been expected earlier this year, but Sun said
it has been fine-tuning it so it's a fully baked product when it hits the market. The company
joins a growing list of big vendors working on virtual appliance platforms, including IBM,
VMware, Red Hat, and Novell, according to IDC analyst Brett Waldman. Unlike conventional
appliances, virtual ones aren't tied to a particular hardware system.
Sun is using FISHworks in a reinvention of its storage products around its own intellectual
property, after selling storage products it brought on through acquisitions for several years,
Shapiro said. The high-performance NAS (network-attached storage) appliances coming later this
year will be designed for large enterprises. FISHworks will use Sun's ZFS (Zettabyte File System)
storage software, which has distinctive Sun features including an analytics tool that uses the
company's DTrace (Dynamic Tracing) technology.
The DTrace-based tool is more powerful than any other such tool in the industry for telling IT
managers what is working or not, according to Sun. For example, it can drill down to tell an
administrator which protocol is consuming the most resources on a storage network, which clients
are using that protocol the most and which files they are working with, and more, Shapiro said.
This would help IT managers troubleshoot problems such as boot-up times for virtual servers that
get longer over time, he said.
Some time after rolling out the NAS appliances, Sun will offer the software components as an
"appliance kit" for OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) to build their own products. As an
example, Sun pointed to Dell, which today licenses Windows 2003 for some of its storage gear.
Using OpenSolaris would save that licensing cost, according to Sun. In addition, enterprises
could use software components to build their own systems if they chose.
In storage, Sun is going after a fast-growing industry that is fairly new territory for the
company. Enterprises are looking for a simple finished solution, so coming out with storage
appliances based on this platform is probably a good move, said Andrew Reichman, an analyst with
Forrester Research. So far, Sun's storage lineup has been a mishmash, he said.
"While Sun does have interesting and valuable pieces ... they have not put it together to be a
very compelling offer," Reichman said.
Even with the appliances, it will be hard for the company to catch up to big names such as EMC
and NetApp, he added.
"Storage is a (market) where you've got to have experience and expertise and develop a
relationship over time," Reichman said. "People buy storage for reputation and solidity ... much
more than they do for a low-cost solution."
A vendor such as Dell, which lacks a strong enterprise-class NAS product, might find FISHworks a
worthwhile option, said Taneja Group analyst Arun Taneja. It will all come down to dollars and
cents, he said -- information that's not yet available.

If there is any doubt that vendors want to poke desktop virtualization
into the psyche of corporate IT then last week's rash of vendor announcements should put all that
to rest.
Microsoft,
Red Hat,
HP, and
Sun all moved
to improve their standing in terms of enterprise desktop virtualization
software
.
[ Stay up to date on the latest virtualization developments with InfoWorld's Virtualization Report blog and
newsletter.
]
Microsoft in a move to shore up its ongoing virtualized desktop story, announced that App-V 4.5
has been completed and that
it will be included in the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) 2008 R2, which is set for
release in a few weeks.
App-V (formerly Softgrid) lets users package applications up into "containers," store them on a
server where they can be centrally managed, and then stream those containers to desktops, devices
or shared PCs.
Microsoft has been pushing what it calls the Optimized Desktop, which addresses centralized
management and deployment of physical and virtual resources.
With App-V 4.5, which is the first version developed under the company's Trustworthy Computing
and Secure by Default guidelines, Microsoft introduced integration with System Center management
tools, including the System Center Operations Manager 2007 Management Pack for App-V 4.5 servers.
The software also features Dynamic Suite Composition (DSC), which lets virtualized applications
share middleware resources; support for 11 languages; and a service-provider license option
called Microsoft Application Virtualization 4.5 Hosting for Desktops.
Microsoft also announced that Citrix is releasing a version of
Citrix XenDesktop that will integrate with System Center Virtual Machine Manager when that
software ships later this month.
Red Hat rounds upMeanwhile, Red Hat extended its virtualization wares to the
desktop by acquiring vendor
Qumranet , which develops a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) platform called SolidICE.
The technology is based on a Linux kernel technology called Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM),
which Qumranet wrote and then took open source.
SolidICE provides IT with centralized desktop and image management, high availability, and
provisioning for any desktop operating system.
Red Hat said the privately held Qumranet's development, test and support staff, including those
that lead the KVM project, will join Red Hat.
The company said in a statement its long-term goal is to infuse servers and desktops with
virtualization technology that is built into the operating system.
In a statement, Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst said, "Put simply, Qumranet's KVM and VDI technologies
are at the forefront of the next generation of virtualization."
Meanwhile, HP announced that it was upgrading its HP Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
platform with the HP VDI Citrix XenDesktop.
HP said the Citrix version could be used for entry-level implementations up to enterprisewide
desktop delivery.
XenDesktop uses virtual machine technology to deliver the Windows desktop from a central server
to network clients. XenDesktop gives the IT staff the ability to centrally managed desktops. HP
also said its will offer "Citrix Ready" blade PCs and thin clients.
Sun tooSun introduced Version 2.0 of xVM VirtualBox, which lets users load
virtual machines onto a desktop and install the operating system of their choice. VirtualBox 2.0
adds support for 64-bit Windows Vista and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and features new platform
support options and performance enhancements.
The Macintosh and Sun Solaris versions were upgraded with network performance enhancements. Sun
also has improved performance on AMD-based PCs.
Sun also introduced xVM VirtualBox Software Enterprise Subscription, around-the-clock premium
support that starts at $30 per user per year.

Dell's new netbook, the
Inspiron Mini 9 , will be sold with built-in mobile broadband by Vodafone, the companies
announced on Thursday.
Dell's entry in the growing netbook space weighs in at just over 1 kilogram, and has an 8.9-inch
LED display. Like some of its competitors it has an SSD (solid state disk) for storage, holding
up to 16GB.
[ For more on products in the hot mini-notebook category, check out our hands-on looks at
Asus' Eee PC 901 and 1000, the
Cloudbook Max netbook,
Elitegroup's G10IL mini-laptop,
MSI's Wind low-cost laptop,
Giga-byte's M912X mini-laptop,
HP's Mini-Note netbook and
Acer's Aspire one. ]
The mobile broadband connection in the Vodafone version supports HSPA (High-Speed Packet Access).
Vodafone will start selling the Mini 9 later this month, but has not yet said in which countries
it will offer the netbook. For now its "in key European markets", the operator said.
Vodafone will announce pricing later, but if you just want the netbook, it sells elsewhere for
from £299 ($526) in the U.K. A version with Ubuntu's version of the Linux operating system,
with a user interface customized by Dell, will also go on sale with a starting price of
£269.
Vodafone isn't announcing which operating system it has picked, or if both will be available,
according to company spokesman Ben Taylor.

Software developer Red Hat bought an Israeli company in a bid to gain a competitive edge against
Microsoft and smaller rivals that provide computing services for complex networks. Raleigh,
N.C.-based Red Hat said Thursday that it paid $107 million in cash for privately held Qumranet,
which sells software that helps computer systems run multiple programs more efficiently on less
equipment. The acquisition continues Red Hat's David vs. Goliath narrative of chipping away at
Microsoft's global dominance gained through its proprietary Windows operating system.

I am running suse 10.0 under the x86_64 arch, with a x300 radeon.
so yesterday I manage to download the increadibly large driver for my card which I have been unable
to do for 2 years now due to dial-up not finishing the driver download and stalling at 99%.
so I follwed the installation instructions, and the instructions say to reboot my system... so I
thought "OK, I'll just go to sleep now anyways as it's 4am...then I'll turn it on tomorrow and find
the driver is installed"
I turned it on today to find that when it tries to boot the operating system the screen goes
black... it seems like it's booting the operating system properly, but it just isn't displaying it
to the screen...
so I either need the shell commands to fix this issue or the shell command to uninstall the driver
completely, as I can enter them from the boot screen.
please help!
